Cordish Companies, the developer of the entertainment district, has been previously sued on two occasions for racially discriminating against customers at other bars and restaurants it opened in Kansas City. This makes three lawsuits alleging racial discrimination at entertainment hubs developed by Cordish, granted this this is surely a series of entirely unrelated misunderstandings in no way related to a systematic policy of illegal racial discrimination. You want to know the really funny part? As Next City points out, St. Louis gave these guys $17 million in public subsidies for the Ballpark Village. Good work all around. Please know that when you drink at Power & Light, Ballpark Village and other Cordish Companies operations, you are supporting a racist, nearly-openly anti-African-American company that takes local tax dollars to fund their bigoted bars and gouges renters with increasingly steep overheads (P&L renters all saw a $5,000/yr increase on their overhead this year). Im done with P&L until someone decidedly less racist than Cordish is managing it. Dont invite me to Flying Saucer. Dont invite me to Cauldron watch parties. Find new craft beer and soccer bars, and stop giving your money to bigots.
